raid 0 windows 2000 benchmarks

[MortaniuS]

Can someone post some raid 0 hd benchmarks and are running windows 2000? they can be ntfs or fat32

under hd tach im getting 45,000 max, 28,000 avg and 75mbs burst

under sandra im getting a wee 24,000

These seem low for my dual ata 100 WD 200bb's at raid 0

Sandra doesn't tell too much though. Here's the ATTO benchmark:

apex what operation system and what is your drive config?

 

[Apex]

I'm on Win2k SP2, NTFS. The 3 drives were in RAID0, 32k stripe (gaming size basically).

P4 at 2006mhz, 1gb of RDRAM.

The drives are 18.2gb Ultra160 68pin SCSI 15,000rpm 4mb buffer Seagate Cheetah X15's rebadged for Compaq.

I had 4 drives, but that completely saturates the poor 32bit 33mhz PCI bus.

on 1024 i got 55k write, 43k read.

apex:

you should get one of those supermicro boards w/ 64bit pci slots

open those wings on them hds 😀

btw, have you compaired 16k w/ 32k w/64k strip sizes??????

i've seen 16k benchies seem to be the best...

 

[Apex]

I've compared 32k and 64k, not 16k yet. Talking with their support, they recommend 32k for gaming, 64k for video.

I do have one of those asus boards with 64bit pci coming, but I'm not doing any work that really requires over 100mb/sec transfers.

LOL, probably. With 1GB of RDRAM already though, it would have to be something pretty intense. Movies at 1600x1200 or something... 😉
